Title: The Knowledge Congress - Events, Seminars, Teleconference


















Summary:Â*The USA Patriot Act has paved the way for new and expanded economic sanctions on financial institutions. Among these sanctions include the enactment of the Anti-Money Laundering Law. Entities are now being subjected to strict global compliance requirements. Rules affecting the filing of financial reports and incorporation of policies to assure compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act have been imposed. Financial institutions operating in the United States and domestic entities that are planning on exploring investment opportunities abroad should fully understand the coverage of these sanctions to avoid possible conflict with the government and missed business opportunities.




The Knowledge Congress is assembling a panel of experts in the field of banking and finance, and key regulators from the government to discuss the factual issues that are relevant to this topic. The event will take place on May 14, 2008, 1:00pm to 3:00pm (EDT). Click the button below to register in this event.
